Lux went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win against the Pirates. MLB hitters have had a hard time figuring out Pirates rookie phenom Paul Skenes this season, but Lux had no such trouble, doubling home a run against the All-Star hurler in the first inning and adding a two-run single in the third. It was the continuation of what has been a resurgent second half of the season for Lux -- after batting just .213 prior to the All-Star break, he's posted a .383/.457/.650 slash line with three home runs, 15 RBI, nine runs and one stolen base since. While Lux's strikeout rate has jumped a bit to 27.1 percent during the second half, his overall production has been a big boost to the Dodgers. With Mookie Betts moving back to right field when he returns to the lineup Monday, Lux should continue to be a lineup regular moving forward.

The Philadelphia Phillies roster continues to be in flux after a series of moves this weekend has drastically reshaped the Phillies depth at the upper minor league levels. With recent trade deadline acquisition Austin Hays placed on the 10-day IL due to a hamstring strain, the Phillies recalled outfielder Cal Stevenson, optioned pitcher Kolby Allard to Triple-A, recalled Max Lazar, and designated first baseman Darick Hall and pitcher Max Castillio for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mookie Betts homered and drove in three runs to mark his return from a broken left hand, Shohei Ohtani also went deep and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 on Monday night. Clayton Kershaw struck out six in his first win this season, allowing one run over 5 2/3 innings as the Dodgers took the opener of a four-game series between NL division leaders. Los Angeles (70-49) tied the Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Guardians for the best record in the majors. “The biggest thing for us is we’re getting some guys back,” Kershaw said. “We’re getting our lineup the way we want it to. We’re getting some guys starter-wise, reliever-wise, everything. We’re having our team look like what we want our team to look like. I think you’ll see us kind of start to take off here pretty soon.” The Dodgers activated Betts from the injured list earlier in the day and had him playing right field and batting second, with Ohtani leading off. Betts primarily had been playing shortstop and leading off this year before his hand got hit by a 98 mph fastball from Kansas City’s Dan Altavilla on June 16.
